F30 Transformation

edub370 · 01-17-2020, 10:55 AM

So I want to have a place to track all my progress for my new-to-me 335 xdrive. I got it because of the color combo in all honesty. The mineral white on saddle brown sold me. Only thing i wished it had was the m sport package, but we'll get to that later....

PIC OF HOW THE CAR CURRENTLY SITS

So this is the car when i got it on day 1.

Pretty quickly i knew i wanted more power, so i got an Injen intake, VRSF charge pipe, VRSF down pipe, and BM3 stage 2 tune

Shortly after that I knew it was time to focus on aesthetics. So i picked up some BC racing coilovers, M3 style mirror covers, and tinted the car. (32% all the way around). I wanted a decent stance, but didn't want to slam the car.

So that brings me up to yesterdays mod which was an M-performance front end and black, dual-slat, kidneys.

I also picked up wheels, in anticipation for spring here in a couple months. Aodhan 19x8.5 ET35. didnt want to drop too much coin on them as this is a dd

Will update shortly as I have plans for black side skirt extensions, black rear bumper extensions, and blacking out the mirrors.

Officially obsessed with the new front end still

beamymike · 01-20-2020, 01:25 PM

Very nice upgrades. The black kidney grills 👌

Nice build!

BradMacklin · 01-21-2020, 08:55 AM

Looks good

edub370 · 03-01-2020, 11:08 AM

Gave the brakes a little love this weekend. New wheels/tires go on tomorrow!

edub370 · 03-02-2020, 09:57 PM

Here's a quick potato pick I. Snagged after the new wheels were mounted last night. I'm beyond excited with how this is turning out

Probably gloss black side skirt extensions and a gloss black roof wrap.

Nice. Are these wheels 9 x 8.5 square set up or ataggered? I have a 2017 340i Msport with 9 x 8 front, 9 x 8.5 rear staggered set up with M performance suspension and M perforamance brakes. What size tires are you running?

Correct, these are 19x8.5 square. I'm running 235/40/19 Toyo Proxes currently

FINALLY got the stance dialed in where i want, i think,... took a couple days of dropping an 1/8" here and an 1/8" there. But i'm pretty happy with the result. onto side skirt extensions and spoiler

Its going to look great and I cant wait to see it

F30swag · 03-06-2020, 01:39 PM

Awesome F30 bro love the brake caliper and wheel combination, makes the car sit clean 👍🏼

edub370 · 03-14-2020, 09:24 PM

Replaced the rear rotors today. Nothing crazy, but wanted painted hubs to prevent them looking like crap (see BMW OEM garbage). Also wanted a perfect mating surface for the rear spacers I have coming in.

CJF30 · 03-16-2020, 06:01 AM

Looks great so far - any reason you didn’t paint the rear calliper as well?

Nice progress on your car! Looking good!
FYI- G2USA Caliper Paint works great on rotor hats too. Brushes right on while on the car and dries to a sprayed on finish
